Well two more chapters left to do for today before I'm completely caught up on my one chapter a day theory. I hope you are enjoying this so far. Sorry the chapters are short. I don't usually write short chapters but for some reason this story is falling into short chapters.

Chapter Fifteen

Hiro's POV

I pull up to the outside of NG studios with K and the others standing outside. I managed to call Maiko, and she started to call everyone else. "So what's this tape about?" K asks as he takes the tape and looks at it.

"They are abusing Shuichi, but they are demanding the return of their disk. I didn't see Yuki in the tape, so I don't really know where they have him or what they are doing to him. The abuse is hard to swallow," I finish directing that last part more to Maiko than anyone else. I don't think she's ready to know all that they are doing to her brother.

I follow the group into the building where we take the first room. I sit down next to Maiko as everyone takes a seat around the large table. "So what are we going to do?" Maiko asks trying to distract everyone from watching the tape.

"How about we give them a fake disk?" Fujisaki states. I never really thought about that. We actually could. By the time they figure it out, we would have Yuki and Shuichi back.

"We can't," Maiko responses looking down at her hands.

"Why not?" I ask.

"They would be checking the disk on that spot. I thought of that too. But that disk is vital to their operation. If I were them, I would be checking it upon drop off too."

"We can't give them the disk back," I say sitting back in the chair.

"What about an army positioned at the exchange point, or a tracking device placed on the disk," K says putting his hands together and leaning on them with his elbows on the table. That's another go idea.

"I think that might actually work. We can do both of those ideas. If they spot the armed guards, then at least we would have the tracker to rely on. Suggesting that to the police might get the disk back in our hands," Fujisaki says.

"I second that," I state watching everyone else nod. "But are you sure they won't detect the tracking device?" I add.

"I highly doubt. Shuichi doesn't whenever I put a tracking device on him."

"But that's Shuichi, K. These people are high tech, and they are serious about this disk," Maiko says putting her head down on the table. She looks very tired and dark circles have began to form under her eyes.

"It doesn't hurt to try," K says taking out his handgun and wiping it down with a cloth.

"Actually it does," Touma says. "Japan is in danger with this disk. Even if we get Eiri and Shindo back, we won't be safe for long if we can't get that disk back away from them." K stands up and puts the VCR tape into the VCR. I watch as Maiko turns her head away from the television screen.

"I guess we are going with the tracker and the army. What about a helicopter also?" I ask looking at Touma wondering if he can arrange that.

"That could be arranged," he says reading my mind.

"So is that our miracle plan to save Japan, Shuichi, and Yuki?" I ask watching everyone nod. I guess that's our plan then.

Shuichi's POV

I open one eye and look around the room. I'm tired of waking up in a mysterious place. I just want to wake up lying in a bed next to Yuki. Yuki…I move my head looking over at the other cell. I couldn't see him too well. "Yuki," I say looking for a way to pinpoint him. If I hear his voice, I can tell where he is.

"I'm over here," he says as I focus on him. He's slouched down on the floor with his arms through the bars at the front of his cell.

"What are you doing?"

"That guy dropped a key. I'm trying to reach for it. It's closer to your cell than mine."

I get up and limp over towards him. "Here. I'll get it," I say lying down on my stomach. I hiss from the pain.

"Easy, Shuichi," I hear Yuki say softly.

I reach my arm through the bars feeling the small metal object but unable to grasp it. "I almost got it." I slide myself more as I finally pull the key back towards me. I hand it to Yuki who tries it in his cell door.

"It's not my door. It must be yours," he says as I moan. "Listen, Shuichi, you have to get out and get help."

"No…you are coming with me…I can't do this without you," I say as tears run down my cheeks.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. You just have to run to the police and bring them back here."

"They might kill you by then. Couldn't you pick the lock?" I ask going back to what his original plan was.

"I guess so," he says looking over at me. He kneels down and reaches his arm through the bars putting something into the lock of his cell door. Within a few minutes, it pops open.

"Yuki, you did it!" I say watching him walk over to my cell. He unlocks it with the key and walks inside holding me close to him.

"Can you walk?"

"I-I don't know. It hurts to, but I'll try," I say standing up.

"No, I'll carry you," Yuki says bending down and lifting me with ease. Am I that light? A noise rings out through the basement as Yuki takes off running with me. Please let us get out of this…just once be on our side…lady luck.

Okay that's it for that chapter. Onto the next chapter. Thank you for reading please review!
